Educating Through Occupations

Educating Through Occupations

1. In my mind, I pictured...

   • students participating in place-based learning
   • People coming to share their occupations with students

2. This reminded me of....

   • a time during my 401/02 practicum where some engineers came to talk to my grade 3's about how to build strong bridges for the Science Fair and the popsicle stick bridge building competition.
   • when I learned about different occupations when I was in elementary school,. I remember in grade 3 when each of our parents would come in and share their occupation with us. I also remember when my class went on field trips to different businesses and community occupations.

3. I agree with...

   • the idea that teachers should be preparing students by teaching them about different jobs rather than teaching them in order for them to get a job
   • educating through occupations helping to create a society that leads to and supports equality in education.
   • the fact that schooling should build on students' curiosity and their desire to learn

4. At first I thought....

   • that the concept of educating through occupations would be difficult to do, but I feel like, y bringing in individuals from different occupations, and by incorporating place-based learning, it would be valuable and meaningful to students.
